Unverified

A whistle blower in the Democrat Michigan Secretary of State's office says their election software is programmed to "automatically" register non citizens, including illegal aliens, to vote.

This claim is unverified because the provided sources repeat an allegation attributed to a confidential whistleblower but provide no official documentation, software records, independent investigation, or evidence that noncitizens are actually being automatically registered to vote.

Key Evidence

Verified August 20, 2026
  • Objectivist.co, London Times, SGT Report, ALIPAC, and RVM News all describe the allegation as coming from a confidential informant or whistleblower and do not present direct technical or documentary evidence.

  • The reports support that Sheriff Dar Leaf made or circulated the accusation, but they do not verify that Michigan's software automatically registers noncitizens or that noncitizens voted.

  • No official response or independent investigation is included in the provided sources.

The reporting

What the Evidence Shows

The sources consistently report that Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf described information from a confidential source allegedly working inside the Michigan Secretary of State's office. According to those reports, the source claimed that noncitizens may be added to voter rolls when they update their address through a state system, possibly receiving an automated confirmation message.

However, the available evidence establishes only that this allegation was reported. It does not independently verify the whistleblower's identity, access, or credibility, and it does not show the relevant software code, system specifications, voter-registration records, audit findings, court documents, or statements from Michigan election officials.

The wording also moves from an attributed allegation to a definitive assertion that the software is programmed to automatically register illegal aliens. The provided sources do not demonstrate that illegal aliens were actually registered, that any registrations were accepted as valid registrations, or that noncitizens successfully voted. A system that receives information during an address change could involve separate eligibility checks or administrative processes, but the supplied material does not explain those details.

All five sources appear to rely on the same sheriff's account or on derivative reporting. They therefore do not constitute independent confirmation. Because the claim concerns specific election software and a potentially significant election-security allegation, stronger primary evidence would be needed before treating it as established fact.
